Analysis:
The “Family Life Sex Education Goal Questionnaire II” (FLSE-GQ II) is a tool designed to evaluate the goals and expectations of parents or educators regarding sex education in the family or school setting. It includes questions related to the objectives of sex education, commitment to the principles of sex education, and preferences concerning the methods and content of instruction. The FLSE-GQ II can assess the priority given to different areas of sex education, such as hygiene, relationships, consent, and values.
Purpose:
The purpose of the FLSE-GQ II is to provide information about the goals and expectations of parents or educators concerning sex education. The results can be used to develop and tailor sex education programs that reflect the needs and values of families or educational communities.
Calibration:
Calibration of the FLSE-GQ II is typically carried out using a Likert scale or other quantitative evaluation methods. Participants rate their level of agreement with various statements related to sex education goals and preferences, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The analysis of the results allows for the measurement of priority and preferences across different domains of sex education.
